BananaBolts
I find you quite appealing
All fireblaster has to do is practice with Yoshi and prepare for a full parry comeback. No big deal >_>
On a serious note, 64 finals are on Sunday afternoon, correct? Also, the stream schedule will be much appreciated.

, cobr wanted me to post this regarding KEYBOARD ADAPTERS:
"[1/26/2015 2:30:59 AM] Rob Stone: can you reply to nintendude and say that the controller adapters SHOULD be placed at stations 29, 31, 30 and 33 for complete ease (since the people in those pools will require them)
[1/26/2015 2:31:29 AM] Rob Stone: also that the pools for doubles might require more explanation. it just says doubles tournament but there are four pools, but nobody should be moving on to anything, so some clarification there would be nice
[1/26/2015 2:16:05 AM] Rob Stone: station 29 should have one set up
[1/26/2015 2:16:11 AM] Rob Stone: and 31
[1/26/2015 2:16:31 AM] Rob Stone: and near and kabal have their own for 30 and 33"
I guess his main concern is making sure that the people running 64 pools know about the adapters and where they will be set up for the filthy keyboard players. Like it says above, Near and Kabal have their own adapters, and Kabal even has a battery for his afaik.
The other concern is obviously the next wave of pools:
[1/26/2015 2:49:51 AM] Rob Stone: and that if the second round of pools hasn't been determined yet
[1/26/2015 2:49:55 AM] Rob Stone: as in, who's playing where
[1/26/2015 2:50:03 AM] Rob Stone: they should take note of where the adapters will be
We want to make sure that the people running the pools are aware of the adapter situation so that it doesn't come out of nowhere for them.

looks like you are in wave I station 31. This means that your matches will start at about 11am on saturday at station 31. u can look at the map in the op to see where that is. i would get there an hour early to be safe. Once u get to the venue you should have no problem finding the 64 area and anyone there will help u out

Players requiring adapters are responsible for setting them up on the appropriate stations before the pools start. As long as one of the four setups on your station has an adapter ready to go there shouldn't be any problems. Having a list of what doubles pools need adapters could be useful as well.
Also, doubles is broken up into 2 waves but you should really think of it as one continuous tournament taking 4 hours. As soon as pools are done top-16 starts immediately.

I have my own adapter. I will also be running Karajan's latest adapter software, which should reduce the time to start it up immensely. The only thing I would need is an available socket to power up my adapter.

Having available power is your responsibility. I'd bring your own extension cord as a safeguard in case there isn't an available outlet.
I don't own a KB adapter, I know that Pidge is bringing a few. I do have a KB this time though wut.

it really depends.
a couple of players have their own adapters, but other people take priority over the rest of the adapters im guessing (star king, killer, ld). you should talk to them to see if you can figure something, but there aren't many adapters. bring your controller and expect to use it
Sedda
Smash Champion
they are not provided by the tournament.
they are provided by people who own them. near and kabal own their own, and pidge owns the other two. the other players have already talked to people who have adapters so that they are able to use them themselves. not many adapters = first come first serve

just got a headache trying to figure out bracket matchups, but pretty sure if all goes standard i'd play killer first round of bracket?

On page 50 of the pdf is the Apex 2015 Bracket Transitions map, which is basically a bunch of boxes with letters and numbers on them. Locate the box labeled "Smash 64 1v1". Find your pool label (I32 in my case), and note the number next to it (for me, 1-11). This means I am in pool 11, or P11 in shorthand. Now find the "Phase 2 Pools (<= 256 entrants)" box. There will be 4 entries that start with P11, and they will end in either W1 (winner one), W2 (winner two), L1 (loser 1), or L2 (loser 2). Because I am seeded second in my pool, if I make it out that makes me P11-W2. Looking in the bracket that puts me in pool 2-4. Based off of pool numbers alone I would play the P6-W1, which is Killer. Not sure if seeding for 1's vs 2's is based off of pool numbers like that though. Looking at all the W1's in my bracket, they will likely be Jaime, Killer, Cabelo, Wizzrobe, so I'll play one of them if I get the W2 from my pool.
Mr Marbles looks like you're set to play one of either HectoHertz, Mr. Fingers, SmashJesus, or Amida assuming all goes as seeded.

So it looks like the 64 Top 8 is now 3-4pm. Wasn't it originally 3-5pm?
You guys might need to find an alternate commentator when I make top 8. Haven't played in like 6 months so have unlearned all my bad habits, gonna crush it.

Explain to me how you play killer? Looking at it, it seems there is now a second phase of pools, and if the order listed is seeds in those new pools, then you would be a 5 seed, meaning you play the 4th seed, which is Cabelo. Am I wrong on interpreting the second phase the same way as the first phase? This would mean all 1s play all 2s in their pool and there is no splitting of WF.
Edit: it seems LS splits but not WF.

Seems like I am facing Tacos and Fireblaster in my pool, cool, seems like they are trying to remove all of the yoshis.

This is what pools will look like in round 2 if seeding goes exactly as planned.
It seems that the losers get scrambled in between the pools in round 2, but the two winners that make it out from a pool in round 1 enter the same pool anyways.

So does the person at the top of the seed play the person at the bottom, or do they play the person right above/below them?

thought seeding would be based on pool number, but now I see you're probably right. beat a fox on dreamland? I can do that.
those w2's in pool 2 are weaksauce

So I went and created every pool and played them out as if the higher seed won. These are not predictions, they are just what the bracket would look like if they were played out in theory.

For pools 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and Top 16 The first round is not actually played, instead the winners start in the second round of winners and the losers in the second round of losers.

You have skyfire and kyle tree backwards. Skyfire is the 2 seed in that pool.
